Top 8 Natural Monuments around Fene

A picture-postcard spot just a stone's throw from Ferrol.

A dream location! Be sure to walk on the footbridge... it runs parallel to the Way of St. James.

A great spot, with shade. There are also downpipes for dipping your feet in the river.

A spectacular natural park, you can explore it directly along the road next to the river (going upstream on the right side), although there is a variant on the left side, accessed by crossing a suspension bridge (the one I show in the photographs). This is more winding and complicated for people with mobility issues, but I consider it more entertaining and beautiful. My ideal route is to climb to the monastery along the left bank and return on the right. If you have mobility issues or want an easier and faster route, go all the way to the right. Regarding the park, I must say it's simply breathtaking. The river and streams that feed us in dozens of places (you'll see them as you walk through) fill you with energy as well as peace and tranquility, the environment completely insulates you from the noise that always surrounds us. I definitely recommend a visit.

Hike through fascinating nature: A beautiful trail through shady forests with eucalyptus trees, pines, and ferns. The ground is soft and covered with moss, and the air is scented with blooming flowers. Dark blue, crystal-clear water accompanies the trail, surrounded by impressive cliffs and mountains. The first part of the route to the monastery is easy and manageable for everyone. Challenging second half: From the old hydroelectric power plant (Antica Centrale Hidroeléctrica), the trail becomes significantly more challenging. It climbs steeply, sometimes over narrow paths with rocky ground. Important information about equipment and fitness: Sturdy shoes with non-slip soles are essential. Surefootedness, a head for heights, and a good sense of balance are beneficial. Those with a strong fear of heights should skip this section or carefully consider whether they feel comfortable.

The Xuvia magnolia is the most unique tree in this city. Two hundred years of history in which this large species resists the passage of time from its location, on the Xuvia seafront. And speaking of the location, it is worth highlighting the owners of the land on which the magnolia is located, for the facilities they have always given to the Narón City Council to be able to maintain this tree in optimal conditions. It is not easy to find such unique species in the area. Proof of this is the fact that the Xuvia magnolia is part of the Catalogue of Unique Trees of the Xunta de Galicia. The Provincial Council of A Coruña itself presented the book "A Magnolia de Santa Rita e a Cultura verde de Narón" in Narón, published by the aforementioned administration. The authors of this publication: Carlos Rodríguez Dacal, María Rodríguez García Garabal and Tomás Casal Pita have carried out intense research work, with the collaboration of institutions and private individuals, to publicize this tree, if possible, the most representative of our municipality and which shines in all its splendor on the Paseo Matítimo de Xuvia, near the bridge that borders the neighboring municipality of Neda.

Good bathing area, with a large sandy beach and picnic area

The large beach of Miño is an extensive spit of sand that forms the largest beach in this town in the Betanzos estuary. Bathers and passers-by can enjoy a privileged natural environment with white sand and blue waters.
